Bit depressed about the war, so I thought I'd finish my dinner time reading by catching up on the old covid.....

...Turns out that despite the huge spike in cases in Dec & early January, Excess deaths in the UK remain negative so far in 2022.....

I know its a limited snapshot, but thats less people dying than would normally be expected in the same period before covid leaked out of the wuhan lab was a thing...

So some light at the end of a tunnel......lets just hope that light is not a nuclear meltdown.....

The 'state of emergency' is ending in Italy at the end of this month with most restrictions expected to be removed by Easter, hopefully. Goes to show that amazingly restrictions weren't part of some weird global agenda and were actually because of a pandemic.

Amazing isn't it that it seemed to disappear as soon as the war started.

Shows just how much shit the media whip up

It’s not disappeared, there’s widespread immunity that’s been built up though which is helping to reduce restrictions.

Or alternatively, just shows the narrative that there was some sort of global conspiracy requiring international cooperation was absolute bollocks given that war has just kicked off.

I caught a bit on the news last night regarding long covid and it looks like it’s heavily linked to the virus effecting the brain. People who have lost their sense of smell and taste have lost grey matter in the area of the brain that deals with those senses and most people who have long covid have signs that their brain has shrunk by as much as 2%.

It hasn't disappeared, hospitalisations are on the increase it is just rightly not as important as major war breaking out in Europe

Just looked at the gov dashboard for the last 7 days, cases up 46.4%, hospitalisations up 12.2% and deaths up 19.5%. That can't be good.

In fairness I don't think continued drops was ever going to sustain, there is still a decent chunk of the population who are 'naive' to the virus and a third of the population have had no booster. There is probably quite a lot of waning as well now in the priority groups

In surprised there’s not been more take up of the booster over there. I reckon it prevented me from catching it when my GF had it recently.

Agree that it can't go down forever but that seems a big jump.

I think take ups been pretty good in higher risk/older age categories. Just checked and totals 67% of over 12s. Not seen breakdown but guessing say over 40s will be high (85%-90%)

This is interesting. I think it's fair to say after the early days and the care home catastrophe the government has done reasonably ok

This point stood out for me...


5. There is no clear relationship between levels of excess mortality and different levels of restrictions/ NPIs across Western Europe or indeed the whole of Europe. (The much higher Covid death rates in Central and Eastern Europe are mainly due to lower levels of vaccination.)

I had Moderna after 2 Pfizers was felt rough as fuck for 24 hours - think it’s common with a different booster - hopefully more effective too.

UK Excess deaths remain negative for 2022, despite the huge peak in cases during Dec/Jan.

Covid is now officially less deadly than flu in England.

So, in this country at least, its pretty much over isn't it?

Certainly no need for the daily reporting of pretty much meaningless case numbers etc. any more is there?
